My storage cabinet at Spectrum Wine is those three deep tubes. I can only reach my arm in (since I’m soooo muscular, right?) to get the first two.
So, Trish at Spectrum Wine always kept a grabber device that could grab the neck of the deep bottle and pull it out. But she lost it during the remodel surrounding the Wine Exchange / Spectrum merger.
The challenge is that the grabber needs to be narrow enough to fit through the tube (about 4 1/2" wide) while still staying open enough to grab the bottle neck. In other words, it not only needs to fit into the tube, but it needs to fit in while open more than the thickness of the bottle neck.
Anyone know of one? I can’t seem to find anything online that meets the requirements.
One option might be those cable grabbers that are for rescuing your ring from the drain etc. But then the grabber would need to be strong enough to pull a full wine bottle.
I am actually half Chinese so my chopstick game is pretty good!
I think any “stick two separate things in there and squeeze together on the neck and pull out” concept isn’t going to work. The bottle is too heavy, you’re reaching in too far, the glass is slippery.
